Flights to Clearfield, Utah from NT$5,448

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in Clearfield. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Clearfield, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
